Lower shock mount


Recommended Posts

I’m trying to remove the front, passenger side, lower, shock mount from my 41 WC. I snapped the stud on one side and cut the frozen nut from the other. I then used a combination of heat, penetrating oil, and a big sledge with a drive pin, but it’s not budging. Any suggestions before I start drilling? Thx

I had a look at mine. Probably lots of rust in the bolt and axle. I would try, leaving it soaked overnight with penetrating oil, apply lots of heat and maybe an air hammer?

If patients completely fails, because it takes time to free some bolts, make sure you center punch it and use a Kobalt drill. A smallish one. You just want a hole through it, not to drill it completely out. That should relax the "fit" a little and help you get it moving.
